MUMBAI: Woody Allen‘s latest films title has been changed for the third time. What was initially The Bop Decameron that later was changed as Nero Fiddled is now To Rome With Love.
The film will be released in the US on 22 June by Sony Pictures Classics and will now officially becomes the third of Allen‘s last fifth films to feature a city in the title (Midnight in Paris, Vicky Cristina Barcelona).
Sony Classics explained the title change in a press release:
‘To Rome With Love was a name selected as an homage to the eternal city of Rome where the film was shot on location last summer. This will be used for its worldwide release. The film‘s former title, Nero Fiddled, while an appropriate and humorous phrase in the US is not a familiar expression overseas and many international territories preferred a more globally understood name."
The film follows a number of people in Italy; some American, some Italian, some residents, some visitors and, as occurs in an Allen film, the romances and adventures and predicaments they get into.
The film stars Allen, Alec Baldwin, Roberto Benigni, Penélope Cruz, Judy Davis, Jesse Eisenberg, Greta Gerwig and Ellen Page.
